Pictures from the Pageant

That is, the Bromley Pageant of Motoring - one of the biggest events of its kind in Europe.

A FAVOURITE British pastime is rambling on about the weather. Maybe it's because we've got nothing better to talk about or, perhaps, because we're shy and can't bear silences.

Far be it for me to break a tradition so I will tell you that this year's Bromley Pageant of Motoring was actually very, very nice, not only because there was a whole load of attractive tinware on display, but also because the sun shone. Last year, it poured so hard that somebody could have made a fortune selling flippers and the dreadful conditions cut attendances by about a half. But the only things on the negative side this year were the fact that I was working and, therefore, couldn't get to see all of the classics at leisure and the presence of a couple of goons in their hot hatches who insisted on demonstrating their sound systems to everyone within about three miles. Still, I guess that's youth expressing itself, so I shouldn't be too critical (although they were still goons). But enough about all that, now savour some of the Triumphs that were on display.
